After buying my Lexus Alloys i decided the rears REALLY needed to come out so i bought some 30mm Eibach spacers. Looks MUCH better IMO! Might just bring the fron out a little now!
What do you think?

The pics are taken just after i have dropped it down off the jack so it should look better when i have driven it and it settles a bit! As you can see it decided to chuck it down with rain half way through!!!

I got them from Demon Tweeks, They just bolted straight on (took 5mins) see pic below, and they cost £107 delivered!!. Seems a good price for eibach ones, even the cheap ones on ebay are £115 plus delivery!
Looks good Neil, much more chunky. After I fitted mine I swear the roadholding improved also.... can't be a bad thing increasing the rear track a tad...

Hey Dan. If you look in my garage and like where my wheels sit then I'd go for a 20 mm spacer on the rear and leave fronts as they are. I'm on 7" width all round with a 35 offset so as standard mine stick out only 3mm more than yours. On my rear I used 15mm spacers so 20mm on yours would see your rears stick out 2mm more than mine. I reckon a 25mm spacer might be a fraction too much.... sticking out 7mm more and a little past flush.
Hope that helps.

Pop em on mate and see how they look. 7mm isn't alot and where they sit at the top will depend on how much camber you've got on the rear.
If they are too wide sell em on here to someone on standard wheels (they'll be just right for them) or as you say just flare the arch a tad.
Hope it goes ok.... get b4 and after pix up.

just wondering what offset are the wheels?
only asking as i have 7j wheels with 38 offset and i have 25mm spacers waiting to go on.
to tell you the truth im not sure what offset they are! they are lexus is200 wheels so you might be able to find out from that.
Walking up to the back of it today and thought i have just got to take one more pic!

The tires i have on at the mo are only 215's so it should look better when i get some 235's on too!!
30mm cleared the studs with plenty of room! i think the later models came with shorter studs, the ones on the spacer are only 25mm so i presume thats the length of the stock ones.
I need spacers for the rears as Rogue had to fit 6mm ones to the front of mine when I got Tein Superstreets fitted (for clearance). I need 15-20mm ones now on the back to balance and make the rears fill the arches and aparently I need "hubcentric ones". Also, my current studs are a few mm short. How do you fit spacers if you need longer studs? The ones on Demon Tweeks look like they come with longer studs (I think I looked at the same ones from Tein) -I guessed that meant you had to take more than the wheel off to fit them?
Excuse my ignorance, silly questions the first time you do it, then you know how the next time. Another mod I need to kick-off on the motor as well.
Cheers,

The ones i fitted just bolted onto the existing studs and then the spacer itself had its own studs that the wheel bolted onto, if you go for the ones where you replace the studs with longer ones i THINK you just xxxx the old ones with a hammer and they come out the back of the hub, but ive never done it before!
Looks MUCH better IMO! Might just bring the fron out a little now! 
must do mine at some point ](./images/smilies/eusa_wall.gif "Brick wall"){kind=small}
